Apr-18-06 | | yataturk: Bishop move is yelling, though the right followup requires thought. |
|

 | | WannaBe: Or Rf6. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | The17thPawn: Schlecter, Pillsbury & Charousek all brilliant, all potential world champions and all dead before their time. Chess is richer for their contributions but how I would have loved to see their play over a 30 year span or at least into the Capablanca era. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | Benzol: Carl A Walbrodt was another master of this period who died prematurely. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | dzechiel: Saw it right away, but thought there might be something better. After a minute or so of looking decided that my original analysis of the bishop sac and queen check followed by the rook lift had to be it. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | idriveacapri: I got 21 Qd3. What would happen next? Or have I missed something? (I know its not the solution) |
|
Apr-18-06
 | | chessgames.com: 21.Qd3 and 21.Qh5 are met with ...f5 |
|
Apr-18-06 | | idriveacapri: Thanks. Now I feel silly. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | Infohunter: <Benzol: Carl A Walbrodt was another master of this period who died prematurely.>
And, towards the end of this period, let us not forget Gyula Breyer. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | Dim Weasel: <idriveacapri: Thanks. Now I feel silly.> Let's feel silly together ;) |
|
Apr-18-06 | | RandomVisitor: If you want an exercise here, work out the win if Black plays 21...Kg7 or 21...Kh8. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Got it! Bxh7 is the only right move because it's necessary to gain a tempo. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | weary willy: <... master of this period who died prematurely.> Not of this period, but of the 1940s, we mourn Klaus Junge and Gordon Crown - one a direct victim of the World War, the other arguably an indirect victim |
|
Apr-18-06 | | prinsallan: Saw the whole line. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | cuendillar: on 21...Kg7 and 21...Kg8, 22.Qf6+ transposes by force to the game line, ie 22.Qf6+ Kxh7 23.Qh4+ Kg7 (Kg6 24.Rf6+ Kg7 25.Qh6+ Kg8 26.Qg5+ Kh8 27.Rh6#) 24.Qg5+ This may or may not be white's best line, but it is more than sufficient to win. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | sagahelten: I hate to state the obvious: After 21. Bxh7 Kxh7 22. Qg5 Kh7 23 Rf6 either mates or wins the black queen. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | WarmasterKron: Saw it straight away, which makes up for yesterday's embarrasment. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | Summum Malum: What about 21.Qh5? .. then black would have to play 21...h7 ?? .. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | United33: got it in about 10 minutes after analyzing 3 variations, quite hard puzzle for tuesday. Nice puzzle!! If black doesn't take white's bishop, then white will play Qf6+ to force black's king taking the sacrified bishop, and then after taking the bishop, white will mate black's king in 4 moves, or force black to sacrifice his queen to prevent mate |
|
Apr-18-06 | | itz2000: show me a way to mate if 23..Kh7 |
|
Apr-18-06
 | | OBIT: No credit on this one unless you also considered 21...Kg7 and 21...Kh8. (I came up with the same line as cuendillar.) From a material standpoint, all 21. Bxh7 does is regain the sacrificed pawn. <Summum> 21. Qh5? f5! is not too clear. |
|
Apr-18-06
 | | chancho: <itz2000> After 23...Kh7 24.Rf4 wins. |
|
Apr-18-06 | | NotABanker: Easy, I want something hard, so bring on Wednesday! |
|
Apr-18-06
 | | LIFE Master AJ: Dang, too tough for me. I thought for over 30 minutes and didn't even come close. |
|
Apr-18-06
 | | LIFE Master AJ: Just kidding! (This is not the "Odd Lie" page.)
